Not Forgotten
Set in a Tex-Mex border town, Not Forgotten is a classic psychological thriller about Jack and Amaya Bishop, a couple who must come to terms with their tortured pasts in order to save their kidnapped daughter. It is a tale taut with intrigue and steeped in Latino mysticism, where the line between what's real and what's imagined becomes hopelessly blurred.
Why it matters

- Rooted in the borderlands, the film’s atmosphere channels regional tension and mysticism rarely seen in American thrillers.
